Dynabook Laptop Components Classified as Requiring Selective Treatment
Dynabook would like to communicate the method of identifying and removing
components contained in Dynabook notebook products, including but not limited to the
Satellite C50-J / Satellite Pro C50-J model, that requires selective treatment based
on the European WEEE Directive, Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
All of the instructions provided within this letter can be reviewed in greater detail within
the Satellite C50-J / Satellite Pro C50-J Series Maintenance Manual.
Tools Required
In order to remove internal components of the Satellite C50-J / Satellite Pro C50-J some tools
from the list below may be required located in Chapter 4 Replacement Procedures of the
Dynabook Maintenance Manual
For your safety and the safety of the people around you, it is important that you use
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) equipment. Correctly utilizing of the equipment increases the
percentage of successful repairs and saves on the cost of damaged or destroyed parts. The
following equipment is required for disassembly and assembly.
■ One Philips screwdriver with type 0 bit (for S-THIN HEAD screws)
■ One Philips screwdriver with type 1 bit (for screws other than above)
■ One flat-blade screwdriver (for removing the CPU)
■ Tweezers (for lifting screws)
■ ESD mats (lay on work table or floor)
■ An ESD wrist strap and heel grounder
■ Anti-static carpet or flooring
■ Air-ionizers in highly static sensitive areas
■ Antenna coaxial cable disconnector
■ Special syringe (for applying grease)
